Our Dispensing Card
Purchase today and save on the cost of private prescription medicines
Do you have to pay for the medicines on your private prescription? Would you like to significantly reduce the amount you pay?
Do you know that prices for private prescription medicines are completely unregulated in the UK and the amount of mark-up on top of the actual cost of medicines is solely dictated by the individual pharmacy?
At DrugsDirect we offer you both peace of mind and a significant saving. Our unique Dispensing Card allows you to purchase private prescription medicines at 'Trade' price (same price that UK pharmacies pay for medicines), which means that you won't need to shop around anymore to find the best price.
Our annual / quarterly Dispensing Card is simply a pre-payment of professional dispensing services provided by our qualified and experienced pharmacists when processing your private prescriptions.
The Benefits
The benefits of our Dispensing Card are two-fold:
1. Significant savings on the cost of private prescription medicines, compared to many other pharmacies
Example of savings (comparing our prices with and without dispensing card):
| Amount spent on prescription medicines per month | Annual saving with our Dispensing Card |
| £110 | £20 |
| £220 | £140 |
| £550 | £500 |
2. Access to our dedicated pharmacist for professional support and advice regarding your prescription medicines
There are no limints on the quantity or value of prescription medicines which an individual patient may obtain from DrugsDirect on private prescription, for their personal use, not for resale and up to 90 days at a time.
